Before making a joint using Hep2O pipe, it is essential to insert a Hep2O SmartSleeve® pipe support sleeve into the cut pipe end. The only exception is when connecting to the open spigot end of a Hep2O fitting. In4Sure® joint recognition tells you when the pipe's inserted. Just insert the pipe into the fitting then rotate it. If it's fully inserted you'll feel a ‘rumbling' sensation, caused by the profiled end of the pipe support sleeve making contact with the castellated seat inside the fitting.

The SmartSleeve® features and benefits:

It ensures the pipe retains its circular cross-section.

It eases insertion of the pipe into the fitting - reduces the force required to push the pipe into the fitting.

The profiled end of the SmartSleeve® helps you to check the pipe is fully inserted.

It maintains the rigidity of the pipe within the fitting.

It retains the circular cross-section of the pipe under extreme temperatures.

Barbs on the SmartSleeve® lock it in the pipe, which helps ensure it is not left in the fitting when demounting.
